RSA Europe has them now, part 2: dirty clothing causes problems

Following on from last weeks post, our legal team flagged this message to us. As such we are once again forced to reissue our statement that the actions of these individuals does not represent the views or opinions of Host Unknown.

HU RSA teaser 02Stay tuned for their full report on their time in Amsterdam, because they really do have some explaining to do.

Host Unknown Caption Competition; and the winner is…

Last week we announced an impromptu caption for a picture taken of our three presenters during one of their planning sessions. We were inundated with entries, and not surprising since the prize is an exclusive Host Unknown gift!

And now to announce our winner. Our heartiest congratulations go to @InfosecGeekLady, with the following:

RSA Europe has them now, part 1; Javvad & Thom struggle with cheap accommodation

A few weeks ago our presenters convinced us that they needed to go to RSA Europe in Amsterdam, claiming they needed to attend some very important sessions. However, we found this communication which led us to believe they may not have been as transparent with us as we hoped.

HU RSA Teaser 01Stay tuned and hopefully we can find out what actually went on.

The Hotly Anticipated @44CON Video (unfortunately)

Never let it be said that HostUnknown doesn’t listen to its presenters (or more accurately their legally appointed representatives who threatened to pull our arms off and beat us with the soggy ends). Our last post closed by stating we would absolutely not be releasing this video on Friday, so we are pleased to announce the release of it today, Thursday.

Now that the “legal representatives” have left our offices, we think it only fair to point out that in our opinion all of the participants in this film far outshine Mr Malik, Mr Agnes & Mr Langford (including the flying drone). We hope you all enjoy it.

Please do not encourage, poke or feed our presenters as we are building our legal case against them which may well result in us being able to get some real professionals for future episodes.
